87 // [fanmix] a put on a show kind of girl

I am sitting here trying to think what I should write about this and all I've really got is, oh my god, you guys, I love Emma Frost. She's changed a lot over the years, played a lot of parts, done a lot of things both good and not so much, and she's always interesting, always a little different from what you might expect. It seems a little weird, maybe, to match Emma with this kind of music — it's certainly not music she would pick for herself — but I think it suits her.

"Circus," Britney Spears
Well, baby, I'm a put-on-a-show kind of girl —
don't like the backseat, gotta be first.
I'm like the ringleader — I call the shots.


"Fast As You Can," Fiona Apple
I may be soft in your palm but I'll soon grow
hungry for a fight, and I will not let you win.
My pretty mouth will frame the phrases that will
disprove your faith in man.


"URA Fever," the Kills
Go ahead and have her, go ahead and leave her —
you only ever had her when you were a fever.

I am a fever, I am a fever,
I ain't born typical.


"Evening on the Ground (Lilith's Song)," Iron & Wine
Evening on the ground
and there is no one else around
so you will blame me,
blame me for the rocks and baby bones
and broken lock on our garden.


"Drumming Song," Florence + the Machine
I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole
'til there's nothing left inside my soul,
as empty as that beating drum,
but the sound has just begun.


"Not Your Concern," the Hush Sound
I am not your concern —
the world will still turn when I'm not around.
Rely on me and you'll fall, backs up to the wall.
Someone, let me out.




"Cities in Dust," Junkie XL
We found you hiding, we found you lying,
choking on the dirt and sand,
your former glories and all the stories
dragged and washed with eager hands.

Oh, all your cities lie in dust.


"Maneater," the Bird and the Bee
I wouldn't if I were you —
I know what she can do.
She's deadly, man, and she could really rip your world apart.
Mind over matter — the beauty is there,
but a beast is in her heart.


"Never Had Nobody Like You," M. Ward ft. Zooey Deschanel
I watched my old habits die and it was painful.
Sometimes it's painful in the light of the truth,
but you kept me fast to the right
and I wanna thank you tonight —
honey, I ain't never had nobody like you.


"American Harlequin," Rory Merritt Stitt
My body is sewn together
and my smile is a work of art,
designed to manipulate,
a sly and lucrative part.


"The Rest for the Wicked," SohoDolls
Live and let die — you're born with hands tied.
I can't save your soul for I lost mine long ago.

Let me crawl into your heart,
sting myself under your neck.
Let me crawl into your heart,
for the wicked get the rest.


"Poker Face," Lady Gaga
I want to roll with him, a hard pair we will be.
A little gambling is fun when you're with me (I love it).
Russian roulette is not the same without a gun,
and, baby, when it's love, if it's not rough, it isn't fun.
